Our daughter is starting Jr. High School this year, so we've decided to rearrange and add a few things to our homeschool room which reflect this new transition in her life.  She is a Jonas Brothers nut, so we added a bulletin board above a brand new desk, with what else?  That's right . . . Jonas brothers posters.  I don't mind, as they are great role models and men of purity.  I used to work with their Dad (Kevin Sr.) back in Dallas when I was a Pastor's Admin., and he was the Worship Leader.  He was also the Worship Leader when I was at CFNI, so I am confident that if dd had to choose posters of someone to put on her bulletin board, she couldn't have chosen better!  I'll post pictures when I can :-)

EXTRA
Pure One is also cast in a local musical which will have her in rehearsals/shows from September through Christmas.

We'll begin on September 2nd and go till May 29th, with school days Monday -Thursday, so we can keep Friday's free for Field Trips. It feels so good to have everything organized and ready to go for her new step to the Jr. High years.  She is ready, I am ready and we are thanking the Lord that we have the freedom to homeschool in the United States of America. It is a freedom we do not take for granted.

Any other Jr. High Homeschool Moms in here?  Any special things you've done to make the transition from Elementary to Jr. High special? I'd love to hear :-)
